Quimper Hittys

More Jolly delights in our Crafty Advent Calendar! It has helped to while away the time until Christmas Eve with gifts and treats to open every day…

December 18 Tipsy and Cooky found some delicious chocolate almonds, and a little poem-puzzle…

.

.

 

…which was solved by arranging the words in order of their first letter!

.

.

Jane is glad we have a good selection of cheeses to try with the delicious-looking Glühwein (Mulled Wine) Jelly that we got on the 19th…

.

.

…and on the 20th, a handy home-made human hand-towel…

.

.

…so handy that Jane decided that the Hitty cupboard needed one too!

.

.

A gorgeous hand-marbled fabric bowl cover arrived on the 21st,  Jane can use it when she is proofing dough for the household bread-baking!

.

.

The 22nd was a beautiful beaded star ornament, which Henrietta is wearing around her neck …emulating her namesake Dr Bonnie Henry who always wears gorgeous large-scale jewellery!

.

.

On December 23rd we opened some delicious French Apple Jam made from the apples of a 100-year old tree! The jam came with a lovely autumnal poem. We can’t wait to try the jam, and wonder if it is similar to our favourite pear, cardamom and pecan jam?!

Home made Christmas Crackers ended this year’s Advent calendar with a bang!!

Happy Christmas Eve, and thank you crafty friends for the lightening of the darkest month in the human and Hitty cupboards…and special thanks to our most favourite crafty Christmas Angel who organised us into making all the fun again this year!
